In 2002, Luis Cisneros, an innovative farmer and cattle breeder in Mexico, was facing an exciting challenge: He wanted to find an efficient water storage solution for his business. His original plan was to build a cistern made of bricks and concrete, but then he heard about a plastic material called geomembrane, which quickly piqued his interest. After a successful project using a geomembrane, Cisneros recognized the great potential of this technology and began to learn everything he could about materials, tools and installation techniques.

The first step was to find a supplier for welding machines. Cisneros turned to LDM, the Leister sales partner in Mexico. With the first Leister appliances and a small team, he began to build up his own company. He embarked upon his first projects in a rented warehouse. His company, Membranas Los Volcanes, grew rapidly and expanded into the states of Nayarit and Veracruz. In just a short time, he was able to lay an impressive 58,000 square meters of membrane in a single reservoir. From storage tanks with a capacity of up to one million liters to fish breeding ponds and shrimp farms, the company offers an extensive range of solutions.
